Cherries: Howe's stylish team tame the Shrews (with video) (From Bournemouth Echo)

Excellent result and another 3 points, but listening to Elvis, sorry, Kris Temple, for much of the game the fans were Sooooo quiet and how disappointing was the gate, only wish I could of helped swell the numbers. Closing ever nearer Top Spot :)

Good 3 points, the ref and the lineo very very poor.

Another good result, a fair result with their keeper getting my man of the match award. A brave performance by Arter after get booked on 13 minutes. Still kept going. Disappointed that he talked himself into a card though. Still worry about Addison. Gave away the penalty and a very dodgy back pass. Time to put cook back in the centre I think. There's my two pence this week :-)

Why is Addison still in the starting 11? Tonight summed him up for me , giving away a stupid penalty , typical sideways and backwards passes and a very lucky back pass. Cook back in the defence please Eddie. On a better note brilliant win and we're closing in on the play offs , Eddie Howe's Barmy Army!!

Shrewsbury weren't as bad as I was expecting. Seemed more than 5000 in the ground to me. And it wasn't that quiet where I was at the back of the North Stand. Massive test on Saturday. It would be a tremendous achievement if we can come away with any points at all.... Addison does seem to be he weak link..... But Eddie knows best!

One of the most scandelous penalties i think i've ever seen given at Dean Court,the ref and the lineo's were like the three stooges!Don't understand this lack of love for Miles Addison,i thought he was pretty solid tonight.Firstly,as i said,it was never a pen and secondly with the back pass James didn't do him any favours by being a little to slow and casual with his attempted clearence.Addison won every single aerial challenge tonight and pretty much had Morgan in his back pocket.I find it a little unfortunate sometimes how supporters tend to single out some players and give them a bit of stick,Brett Pitman and Harry Arter being recent examples.Eddie obviously rates him or he wouldn't still be wearing the arm band and starting every week!
And one last thing,everyone wanted Groves out,they got there wish,Eddie Howe came back,more then fans could of wished for,people said after refusing to come whilst Groves was in charge they'd return now Eddie was back.Tonights gate?5,022...disgrac
eful really.Stayaways hang your heads in shame.......

eddie howe is has done even better than i expected since his return, i knew he was going to do a good job, but i wasn't expecting an immideate impact. i don't know how or why addison is picked ahead of zubar, but i trust eddies decisions unlike that of groves, brooks and little tommy boy
UTC

Terrible penalty decision, legal shoulder barge and the Shrews player went down way too easily! Elphick was also booked for a foul in time added on. Worst ref at DC in a long while. Good first half performance but slowed down a bit 2nd half, bit of tiredness maybe now they are doing some proper training and have been putting 100% effort into games. Solid and professional and no real complaints at all with anyone in red n black. Another excellent result.

I thought their forward looked a handful. I wouldn't say Addison had him in his pocket. He just looks uncomfortable on the ball and v low on confidence. Cooky can consider himself unlucky not to be in the team tonight. Thought he was excellent against Dagenham on Sat. Professional win tonight. Crowd a bit nervous I sensed and the team looked tired in spells but a great three points . Howe is a legend.

Well done the 4,887 fans that turn up tonight. By what i read and the comments on here, you should be pulling in a least double that. A bit of P R MR MITCHELL.

Eddie certainly got your boys playing like before when he was with you. On this form and in this league i think you can get to the play offs and even automatic promotion. If that happened, the way my team are going we will be playing each other next season. The difference between Championship and Premiership is huge. Gone are the days when the bottom six clubs of the Prem were much the same as the top six of the Championship.
Glad to see at least one of the best two teams of the South coast are looking good. How is Lee Barnard doing for you?, not very pretty to watch but i think you do get 1oo% effort when he pulls on the shirt.
Hope all goes well for you Saturday, as i'm sure it will.

Please do not encourage any PRvworkmfrom Mitchell unless its delegated of course

Addison is too clumsy....Cook is a better and more mobile defender...

People need to get rid of there red eyes that was such a penalty, absolutly terrible decision by Addison no need to challenge the guy is a donkey. one and only clean sheet against Daggers, without Addison then in he comes and no clean sheet do the maths. Good overall performance however the second half everything went through Pugh the team seamed to forget we had a right side no movement into the channels should have been more and it was a very poor Shrews side, and we need to see that, true 6 games ago we would have lost that and EH has sorted that but at times Negative play no movement and only passing back crept back into our play hopefully that will be arradicated in time up the cherrries

What's all this terrible ref nonesense that is trotted out after every game on here? All around me thought that theirs was a certain penalty. I suppose all you rose tinted 'terrible ref' types would have been claiming the Shrews offside goal was good if it had been scored by us.

I was delighted we signed Addison as he was outstanding on loan but has looked a pale shadow of his former self this year, although under groves many players' confidence suffered. He is getting better but feel Cook is an outstanding player.

Re the gate I had a ticket but couldn't get away from work in time (work in
London) unfortunately.

I've just read GT report on the Shrews site. Their pen was a blatant foul by Addison, Josh's goal should have been dis-allowed as he hand-balled to control it, he said he spoke to the 4th who told ref it was a hand ball but ref said it wasn't deliberate. Shrews should have had a 2nd pen when one of our guys handled the ball in area but again the ref said it was not deliberate!
Personally I can't wait to get Cookie in to replace Addison, dangerously cumbersome. 2 men on Pughie all night made life difficult for him.Long balls rarely find the man it was intended for, but in a panic, that's the thing to do. Our backs were kept on their toes by a couple of speedy wingers and I was really worried about the last 10 mins but we don't have Groves anymore, thank goodness.

Addison is the one player at the back who scares me, all to often goals have been conceded after his mistakes, that's not me knocking the lad it's just what's been happening! Cook should get his chance alongside his Brighton team mate, they must have played together prior to coming to Dean Court. Other than that I am more than happy with the resot of the line up, I can't see anywhere else that they don't deserve to start every game, Shauny Mac and Harry are becoming a great partnership in the middle, Harry still needs to cut out these stupid yellows though!! Also fantastic seeing the table this morning, much more like it, also closing in on the top six, we are the form team in league one now! It will take a brave man to bet against the cherries in any game, what was going on when Groves was in charge?

Two of the next three games will shew how far we have come under Eddie and Jason, Doncaster and Stevenage two teams in good form who are likely to be in the mix at the end of the Season. As for the gate, it was a cold night and two games close together are difficult for many to afford in these difficult times, I would hope to see a much better turn out against Stevenage, but with a home match on the Saturday cant see it exceeding 6,000. It's going to take time to enthuse the many fans who have walked away from the Club in the last year or two and to get them back to Dean Court..

SHOW not shew SOC!!!!!

"SHOW not shew SOC!!!!!”

Both spellings are correct, as it happens. George Bernard Shaw preferred 'shew'. I remember that from reading his play about Phil Boyer and Ted McDougall; 'Man and Supermac'.

Some of us who work shifts cannot make midweek games. Listened to the game from the end of the first half and have to say it does seem like Eddie and Jason have the Midas touch. It sounded like we were all over them and could have scored more, disappointed I wasn't there. Bl00dy work!

good performance,poor pen decision guy went down far too easily,but for the shrews keeper weale we would have won 6-1 as jason tindall said on radio and i agree one missed header which should hv been buried,dont think shrews had a chance-i cant remember 1 also shrews should hv had at least one player sent off if not 2 2-1 false scoreline it should have been 6 but for keeper as pre said

Barnard's been a bit disappointing I have to say. You're right about the effort and he holds the ball up well but I remember him as a bit of a goal poacher but with us he doesn't seem to get himself in those positions to score. Having said that he hit the post last night but kept the ball alive for Pugh to set up Mcqoid. Interesting to see what happens if Thomas gets himself fit and confident. I think lee could be on his way back to you. Still 4 goals in 12 he has now-just expected a little more though from someone with his ability and previous.

Or is it possible some of us don't give a **** about the Champions league and just can't afford to spend £20 when they've struggled to find work after rarely missing a match for 10 years?

disagree on barnard think he has been excellant and is also a good foil for mc quoid and grabben we have to sign him permanantly in january has the edge on thomas reckon at the moment,and we should keep both of them-the more compatition for places the better up the cherries
